Overview

Kentucky 4-H believes that all youth should have opportunities for positive youth development in our four guiding concepts:  mastery, belonging, independence, and generosity.  This project fosters mastery by encouraging youth to develop inquiry skills in basic scientific exploration; Belonging by learning to work with other youth and adults as they learn more about scientific inquiry;  Independence by developing problem solving and critical thinking skills; and Generosity by being able to give back to the Scientific community through becoming Citizen Scientists.  Contact your county extension office for more information (link).
